On November 16th, 2024, the Assabah NSS 240 Unit conducted a Swach Bharat cleaning program as part of its ongoing efforts to promote cleanliness and environmental awareness in the community. The program focused on cleaning the roadside footpaths near the state highway, an area often prone to littering and environmental degradation. The initiative aimed to encourage civic responsibility and contribute to a cleaner, healthier environment.

The program began in the early morning, with volunteers gathering at the designated starting point. The Assabah NSS 240 Unit coordinated the event, ensuring all participants were equipped with the necessary cleaning tools, including gloves, garbage bags, and other waste disposal materials.

Volunteers actively participated in cleaning the footpaths along the state highway, focusing on collecting waste materials such as plastic, paper, and other forms of litter. The team worked efficiently to remove waste from the area, ensuring that the footpaths were free of debris and more accessible to pedestrians. This effort not only cleaned the area but also helped in raising awareness about the importance of maintaining clean public spaces.

 The primary objective of the Swachh Bharat cleaning program was to contribute to the national cleanliness campaign by participating in local cleanliness drives. By targeting areas like the roadside footpaths near the state highway, the event aimed to prevent further environmental damage and foster a sense of civic duty among the public.

The program proved to be a great success, with a significant amount of waste being collected and properly disposed of. Volunteers were able to clear a large portion of the footpaths, making the area cleaner and safer for pedestrians. The event also brought together people from different walks of life, reinforcing the spirit of collective action for a cleaner environment.
